Scalable fee - applies for all other development including commercial, industrial, medium to high density (6+ dwellings) and mixed-use developments that have a development cost more than $500,000. Refer to the development cost table below.

Pay the bond

For commercial, industrial medium to high density (6+ dwellings) and mixed-use developments that have a development cost more than $500,000 only.

The refundable bond is determined based on the impact of the infrastructure adjacent to the development site. Council officers will determine the bond amount and an invoice will be sent to the applicant.

Council will retain the bond until the Certificate of Final Inspection or the Occupancy Permit has been issued by the Building Surveyor.

In the event that there is no damage to our infrastructure and/or that the damaged infrastructure has been rectified to our standard, then the entire bond amount will be returned to the applicant.

Front Load Bin Permit

You must not place front load bins or other bulk rubbish containers on a road, nature strip, reserve, or other Council land unless you have a Skip Bin Permit.

This permit is required in addition to the asset protection permit, and helps reduce damage caused to nature strips.

After building is completed

As soon as possible after your building work are completed, you must notify us so we can inspect the Council assets near the building site.

If, after the inspection, we believe the building work has damaged Council assets, we will ask you to repair the damage within 28 days.

If, after 28 days, you have not repaired the Council assets, you will be charged with the repair costs.
